Dragonhawks are soon going to be a tameable beastie in the Burning Crusade. There are low-level ones in Eversong Woods (blood elf 1-10 zone) and high level ones in Tempest Keep and Shadowmoon Valley.

They have brightly colored skins (the ones seen so far are orange and a pink-reddish).

You get them as a mini-pet at Fairbreeze Village for 45s

Can you catch these anywhere?I already have the 3 dragonhawks from the vendor but for me it doesn't count towards the safari achievement. :/

A moment's word about Dragonhawks.

There are a number of dragonhawk small pets, and they're all basically the same: The Golden, Red, Blue, and Silver Dragonhawk Hatchlings have identical typing and movesets, but they have different stat priorities and avaliable breeds. So, I'm going to start with the moves.

Button 1: Claw or QuillsNaturally, which one you take here depends on how reliably you think you can outspeed your enemy. Every dragonhawk hatchling can break 300 speed, so in a fast breed they can all take quills. Some of them are naturally slower, though, and if in a slowish breed may have a hard time getting the extra quills damage reliably

Button 2: Rake or ConflagrateOkay, so Rake does somewhat light damage and halves the enemy's next attack, while conflagrate does massive damage and more if the target is burning. A Dragonhawk's third move always applies the burn effect, so conflagrate will be able to do its extra damage no matter which move you prefer. I can't really see any reason to run with Rake.

Button 3: Flame Breath or Flamethrower. Take Flamethrower for type reasons only. Flame Breath does more initial damage, and while Flamethrower does slightly more damage per tick, Flame Breath ticks for twice as long. If you anticipate needing elemental damage over and above the damage that Conflagrate is already going to do, I guess you could justify Flamethrower. Otherwise, Flame Breath is plain better.

The red hatchling is the only one of the dragonhawks that can breach 300 in its attack power, and it still has a respectable 289 speed while doing so (at this level, I'd give it a 50/50 chance of outspeeding a random player's l25 pet). It hits harder than any of the other dragonhawks, and I'd want the breed that capitalizes on that strength.

Red P/S has the highest possible power. Silver S/S has the highest possible speed. These are the ideal breeds.

Red S/S, Silver S/B, and Gold S/S are the best "balanced" breeds. Of these breeds· Red S/S has the highest power & speed. · Silver's S/B drops power for some health. · Gold S/S gives up speed for more health.

Gold S/S > Silver B/B by 16 power.

Blue's P/S > Phoenix S/B by 16 health

Phoenix H/B > Blue's B/B by 13 power in exchange for only 3 speed and 17 health

Blue just has too much health to be useful. Without sustain, the added health isn't enough to compensate for giving your opponent 2 extra turns to set up a combo. And if your opponent has sustain, you'll pretty much be rendered useless.

Phoenix's second line spells are all bird spells, which is great if you're fighting all birds & fish but a Dragonkin dealing Humanoid damage is going to wreck you.
